A teenager hunting for birds in the jungle of a Philippine island claims to have stumbled upon a fuselage “full of skeletons” and a Malaysian flag, and authorities believe it could be from missing Flight MH370.
The coastal wreckage in Tawi Tawi was under investigation by local authorities in Malaysia’s Sabah region Monday.
The finding was reported by Jamil Omar of Borneo, 46, who says his nephew made the grim discovery in September, but didn’t realize what it was as he has no access to television or newspapers.

Without being too morbid...I don’t doubt it for a single second. I lived in the Philippines, and they had these red ants that could skeletonize a small animal in no time at all (a day or two if I recall correctly)
We used to catch large conch shells and put them on top of the ant hill near my house to clean them out. So I think it is entirely possible.
That happened in Alaska back in the late 60's. Young Indian hunters discovered a B-17 crashed with skeletons inside. They got the door 50 calibers working and trimmed all the bush down around the plane.
But ..... there was no such a thing as a Malaysian flag (!) at that time.
Absolutely - lots of things there to help remove flesh and speed decay. (Gross, I know)
” that young actor did a superb job, and curiously, after the film was released, he never again worked in the industry and deliberately chose to fade into obscurity.”
Hollywood is so adept at burying talent, they should own their own cemetary.
How every “Heavy Metal” of them...
I understand CNN is covering a train wreck tonight! They will blame it on the Republicans, TEA party and some far out video.
Vultures can clean up all but the toughest sinews in a day or two once they pick up the smell and in that climate there would be a smell a vulture could detect within hours. Ants and other creatures would pick the tiniest bits off the bones very quickly after that. I don’t think there would be much other than bone and some hair left after a week. That is based on what I have seen happen to dead animals in South Carolina in summer back when the buzzard population was much, much higher than it is now. Since humans have very little hair they would not last as long before becoming bare bones as other mammals. I have seen a dead cow with buzzards pecking away on the outside and several possums eating from the inside at the same time.
Do you think Bandit was nervous around Haji?
No, Hadji seemed pretty cool. I think he was intended to be Hindu or Sikh.
